A little Q&A with Salisbury Senior Emily Suter
What is your full name?
Emily Suter
What are your hobbies?
I love to figure skate. I’ve been taking classes for over two years now. I also love to draw, and I occasionally play the piano
If you have pets, list what kind and names.
I have a few fish, and a Chihuahua-pug mix (Chug) named Lily.
How would your friends describe you?
They would describe me as caring and passionate and determined.
What is your favorite subject?
History! I love listening to stories and piecing them together. And history is just one big story to me
Who is your favorite teacher?
Mr Barna. He’s the person who helped me realize I love history in the first place. I always say that if I could retake his Honors AC II class, I would do it in a heartbeat.
What is your favorite movie?
Forrest Gump. I first watched it when I was really young, and I still love it to this day.
Are you involved in any community service projects?
I’m a member of my local youth group who helps out the local community a lot. We host a lot of events, and the money either goes to the community or helping those in third world countries. We recently did something called the 30-Hour Famine, where we raise money by fasting for 30 hours. We raised over $2,000. All the money goes to an organization called World Vision, and directly helps kids suffering from hunger in third world countries.
Who is your role model and why?
My role models are my father and my mother. They’ve helped me through everything, the good and the bad, and through example, taught me how to care for others around me
What’s next after graduation?
I plan on attending Gettysburg College as a history major! I don’t know what career path I’ll go down, but as long as I can communicate my passion for history and make a change then I’ll be happy.

Catching up with Salisbury graduate Bryn Burkholder
What is your full name?
Bryn Burkholder
When did you graduate from Salisbury?
1999
Tell us about your life since high school.
I graduated from Duke University, where I studied biology and watched a lot of basketball. I moved to Philadelphia for medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. While I was there, I decided to go into ophthalmology, and I did my residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I took a job here at Johns Hopkins as a specialist in something called uveitis, an inflammatory eye disease. Hopkins is a teaching hospital, so a big part of my job is teaching ophthalmologists-in-training and supervising them while seeing patients and doing surgery.
What are you most proud of personally and/or professionally?
Professionally, I’m most proud of my work teaching residents and fellows; it’s the most rewarding part of my job. Personally, I’m proud that I’ve stayed physically active since high school, competing in club field hockey in college, intramural basketball in med school, and lots of running, swimming, and bike races along the way.
How has the pandemic impacted you and what have you learned from it?
As a physician, I couldn’t work from home, so we made changes in our clinical practice and operating rooms to keep everyone as safe as possible. This means that I use N95 masks and face shields all day at work. I’ve learned the importance of good leadership in times of crisis.
What was your favorite high school memory?
I have so many great memories at SHS, most of them involving sports, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. Highlights include bus rides with the hockey team on game days, turning around a one-win basketball season my sophomore year to become a top team in the league my junior/senior years, and breaking the school record in the 4 x 800 meter relay with my sister and two of my best friends. I also had a blast performing in the high school play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, my senior year.
How is your family doing?
My parents, who are both physicians, have retired and are enjoying their new roles as grandparents. My sister, Alissa Burkholder Murphy (Class of ’01) and her family, which includes my two nephews, moved to Baltimore last year. My sister teaches engineering at Johns Hopkins, which was her alma mater. It’s the first time that she and I have lived in the same city since high school, and it’s been really great having them here.
If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
I could list a number of superstar doctors/scientists, or political leaders, or female sports icons that I’d love to meet, but, honestly, who would be my first choice? Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-- two hilarious, smart, bold, leading ladies in the male-driven field of comedy.
Who is your role model and why?
Growing up, my parents were important role models for me. My mom was one of just a few females in her med school class. Conversely, my med school class was the first one in the history of the school to have more women than men, so I’ve always felt very proud that she was among the pioneers who paved the way for me and my female classmates. And my dad is an ophthalmologist too, so clearly he was hugely influential in my career path.

A little Q&A with Salisbury Senior Margaret Carl
What is your full name?
Margaret Rose Bernadette Carl
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies include sewing, thrifting, baking, and making jewelry.
If you have pets, list what kind and names.
I have a chihuahua dachshund named Sioux who I have had since I was four years old. I also have a turtle named Shelly, and six chickens.
How would your friends describe you?
My friends describe me as eccentric, compassionate, and giving.
What is your favorite subject?
My favorite subject is probably art. I have always loved creating art, not to say I did not work really hard to get where I am now!! Art takes a lot of practice and patience, I think that skills in art are often dismissed because many people believe that you are just born with the talent. Just like sports, you also have to practice over and over again.
Who is your favorite teacher?
MRS. BORTHWICK!!!!! I am so grateful to her and all she has taught me and helped me through. I don’t know what I would have done without her!! Honorable mention goes to Ms. DosSantos and Ms. Reinecke.
What is your favorite movie?
But I’m a Cheerleader, when I first watched it I was amazed by how relatable and humorous it was and now I share it with every last one of my friends.
Who is your role model and why?
My role model is Janis Ian because at a young age she caused a lot of ruckus due to her strong social views and how she expressed them. I feel a really strong connection to her and her music and I find myself inspired by her every day.
What’s next after graduation?
I am planning on attending Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University. I plan on going for art education and after graduation want to get certified to become a family and consumer science teacher as well.
